How many curses the man would have scattered during his death.

From that oral cavity, which has been opened with all the tears, we are likely to hear still deafening screams of despair.

Trying to carry that Capino Gillette tragic body, Sonier Papeek's cold eyes look down.

Riding on the side, Mary's Fire Fairy wand rang.

The tip of the wand is shaking fine. She had her fingers ripped off and was gripping the Fire Elf wand with an unusual force that seemed to blow away.

"I heard rumors."

Marya looked up at Sonier and said.

Unlike usual, it's a low, strong voice.

"I can't believe you were really in this place"

"Long time no see, Marya"

Sonier Papeek directed that distorted grin straight from Ishur to Marya.

"Have you been a little stronger since then, too?

And further distorted those lips.

"Mmm..."

I hear Marya's little groaning voice.

But it sounded more like contempt than remorse.

……

Ishur looked at Marya's side and was stunned.

She was putting a strong angry look on its face (on her toes) like she'd never seen before.

... right. Is that what you mean?

At dinner at the Antilla Palace, Ishur remembered her eyes, which were filled with inexplicable emotions.

Marya's thoughts then. Thoughts. Was that this?

I don't know anything specific. But between the two of them, I only found that there was a nasty cause.

... the sword!

And from earlier on, Nerlelanke pushes into my mind when it's goofy.

She's waiting for my instructions. I'm asking you to give me an order to kill the girl in front of me, Sonier Papeek.

Usually cautious, calm Nell is rare and doesn't hide with an obvious willingness to kill.

... No. Be patient now. Don't show yourself now.

Sonier Papeek, director of the Jeremiah's Library, looks a lot like Nell.

I can use this.

What would this ruthless lady scribe look like if she saw Nell?

But not yet, not then.

"Maryah!

Behind Ishur and Marya, Evan and the other, the “bearded” man, jumped out of the shadow of a cylinder supporting the roof of the corridor. And each dropped his knees on both ends of Ishur and Mary to refrain.

They looked up at Sonier standing in front of the door and turned a stern gaze.

……

Sonier loosened his expression slightly, though, and saw the “mustache” men in his spare face.

Because the place is the place, or Evan and the others aren't wearing swords right now.

"Ha ha..."

Ishur got funny for some reason and gave her a little laugh.

... a hunting and murder in the royal castle. Quickly, there's been some kind of murder.

But the killer and probably the motive are already bright white. It doesn't exist from the beginning, for example, when a famous detective is active.

Ishur put his fingertips on his jaw.

It is certainly painful for the royal family that the life of Capino Gillette, the person who is key to the redevelopment of the Balstal Castle Line, has been lost.

But it's bad for Capino, but unlike what it looks like, the magic used is itself a dicky dark magic.

Emilia's sister Endra, whom she has previously attacked on her way to the Red Emperor Dragon Crusade, is the spirit of darkness she has unleashed. I guess that somewhat powerful one attacked Capino.

Does it mean that it was this woman, the scribe, who made her attack?

"What's wrong with you? Lord Ishur."

Sonier Papeek has slightly clouded his spare grin and stared at Ishl.

... No way, show it to me? Then it's not. A challenge to the royal family, but it won't be.

Be careful, is this what Henrik was saying?

A suicide note by Claus Ruhardo, a disciple of Skull Mercado, a famous castle builder who Capino was looking into. There was some constraint on the book, I guess.

There's one of these lady bishops biting.... or something like that.

Something that even with royal forgiveness still refuses to view. If you try to look impossibly, you could take your life, some kind of trick. There was a deal.

That would be King Jeremiah or the will of Claus Ruhardt in his lifetime.

"... no, nothing. By the way, who hung the body in front of the door?

Turning the grin up rather, Ishur asked Sonier a question.

Not that the spirits of darkness who killed Capino hung themselves in front of this door.

I don't have to know if Sonier has the magic equipment of a martial arts god, and I don't think she has that power herself.

I guess there are other servants with libraries or someone else who does the hard work. Hanging Capino in front of the door is a "rule of thumb."

The female clerk's smile disappears.

"These are the youngest men working in the library."

"You ordered it?

"Yes."

Sonier looked down at Ishur looking in a bad mood.

... This is a farce. It doesn't matter to me what the King's will was a hundred years ago.

It's just, it's not a big deal if you're going to face each other by magic. so it doesn't become a battle etc.

"Well, that's hard work"

Ishur stared at Sonier with his eyes narrowed as he spoke in a soft tone.

That's nothing, it was like hunting a small animal.

"Hehe."

But when I glanced at Ishur, Sonier Papeek also had a loss and a grin.

"Ishur, the secretary is asking me what you're looking for. I'll show you then."

Again, that grin becomes distorted.

"Surely, was it about Malefiore? Or..."

Its eyes shine with a demonic glow.

"Sonier, refrain. Do you know who the one you're seeing right now is?

Marya blocked Sonier in a cold tone.

But Sonier ignored Marya and went on to say:

"... or is it the book of Baron Lehne, once the sword of Yveda"

Its lips painted a semi-circle like the one painted on the picture.

Afterwards, people gathered continuously in front of the Jeremiah's Library, and the neighborhood became noisy.

The first to come was Lucia to Mira and Rifia, four of the then Sharka, whether they felt the Dark Magic activation, as did Ishur and others, or whether there was an infusion of the Spirit Sharka.

Sonier thanked Ishur and the others as Mira and the others rushed into the corridor, turning several challenging grins, disappeared behind the library building.

Then you heard the news of the “beard," Rusla Niesbard and Domil Fullsiek, and Piersh Izreek, head of the codification office, rushed in.

A little bit later he even showed up as Undersecretary of the Interior, Deputy Commander of the Royal Knights and the Orthodox Knights. The explanation for the men of the royal palace, who had gathered in succession, was left to Mary, and Ishur briefed Mira and Rifia on the situation. I also joined Nina who came late there.

"The evil spirit probably came out of a subpoena set up by the famous master Skull Mercado apprentice, Claus Ruhardt, himself. I suppose I applied it so that I could keep my manuscript secret even after my death so that I wouldn't be easily seen. Lord Capino, they sacrificed themselves."

"The Evil Spirit Summoners were not Claus Ruhard, but perhaps planted by King Jeremiah, who owned the book. You wanted to make it easy to browse, except for the royal ones. If the contents of the manuscript are important matters related to castle construction, the king may have thought that the royal family should monopolize it and not leak anything else."

Rifia and Mira each stated their findings toward Ishur, but the content is almost the same, only the difference between the author who set up the evil spirit or the king of the owner of the will.

"Right. I think you're right."

... I could deduce what you two are saying. For now, I feel that whoever set it up is not that important, either Claus Ruhard or King Jeremiah.

The problem has shown such blatant hostility, Sonier Papeek's position. As the scribe of the Jeremiah's Library, did you simply stand by to browse the Capino Gillette?

What that provocation of hers means...... Sonier Papeek said those who manage the royal library are not just scribes. The girl is the secret “guardian” of the Jeremiah's Library.

Sonier was more likely an active participant in Capino Gillette's death, leading him to the Evil Spirit Summon.

She has put forth the name "Malefioa" and the witch of the woods, the sword of the former Yveda, "Lene," and said, "I will guide you".

... that girl has been provoking me to "call me".

And what happened in the past, the crappy relationship between her and Marya......

Mira and Riffia are still stunned, looking up at the body of Capino Gillette suspended in front of the door.

Nina's reaction was worse, bluishing her face and shaking her whole body.

"Nina, it's okay. You don't have to be scared. It's just the work of evil spirits. Only one of the royal families and I can get into this library."

Ishur put his hand on Nina's shoulder and said with a grin.

"Yes......"

When Nina nodded with a slightly brighter face, now Rifia looked worried and called out to Ishl.

"Ishl."

Mila and Rifia have also fought (how much) several times against the United Kingdom, on the front lines.

Even though I am distracted, I have not been shocked enough to say that I was scared when I saw another terrible corpse.

Rifia's worries are different from Nina's.

"It's okay, because I won't do it with strength"

"Hehe," Ishur said with a small laugh.

"A proper royal servant, a royal code, because I will keep it."

And I made a bad face there and added to the joke half.

"Whatever you can."

"Well, if you get ish. Ho."

Mira deliberately overreacts and makes you laugh.

"Hmmm......"

"I had no choice," Lifia giggled her shoulders shruggedly and thinly.

……

Nina smiles and relieves the tension so that she can follow the conversation between the Ishurs.

... whenever I can, I'm not really kidding. If I have to, I will naturally ignore the Royal Library.

"Lord Ishur!

As Ishur smiled at Nina as she thought about that behind her back, she heard Rusla chopped up behind her.

Turning around, Rusla, with a horrible face, stood right behind him.

Behind him was the figure of Marya, who continued to explain to Domill, the head of the codification room, the men under the Secretary of the Interior and the knights. There are other private languages constantly around, noisy.

"I can't throw this away. We must take immediate measures of good fortune with His Majesty.... it hurts too much to lose Lord Capino"

Usually a mild Rusla raised the killing temper in his eyes, he said in a sharp tone.

He was just, like, sad and generous.

"Right."

Ishur pointed his gaze slightly at Capino's body and nodded small.

... I wonder how many people Capino Gillette was when it came to castle building. Or maybe there was some personal interaction with Rusla. This is important to Rusla and to the royal family.

"I would love to have Lord Ishur present at the meeting with Master Henrik."

Rusla has turned her blood-running eyes.

"What, oh..."

I understand Rusla's thoughts.

His intention was, "You can't give up the castle building of the North Line Castle Fortress here. I'll take Capino's place, reveal Claus Ruhardt's will at any rate, get the castle art" around it.

And I'm telling you to help me.

It's also convenient to use, but it's not a bad story. It's not a bad idea to break that Sonier Papeek's, arrogant nose column.

"No..."

Ishur showed Rusla a thin grin.

... Besides, isn't it a pleasure to trample upon King Jeremiah's royal code and doings?

Trying to monopolize the knowledge that the Royal Ladis have been accumulating extensively is, in a way, a matter of no choice. That leads to Royal Strength, to Antai.

This world is a time when the penitentiary system favours width, such as monogamy above and below. Different kinds of knowledge, wisdom and technology are kept secret and do not appear on the table. It doesn't spread to society.

That's still the kind of civilization. I'm not complaining about that, but what about the easy loss of human life for good? Rather than the development of society, such a thing can even lead to a decline. If that happens to be a favorite person or a close one, I'm even less convinced.

I am not willing to make personal emotional problems. Even if the subject is the royal code.

……

When Rusla saw Ishur's face and opened her brow, or soothed her expression and nodded, an old man with a tall upper back called out from behind it.

Lord Ishr Bersch.

When Isul replied, "Yes," the old man named Piersh Izreek, head of the Royal Codification Office.

And he continued, "Now the secretary general is also in concurrent service," he said.

The previous commander was killed in a siege against Grand Duke Olura earlier.

"Some scribes in the Royal Library possess quite a bit of magic. The secretary was killed when he went out to the North Palace."

There goes the black-crushed, Domil Fullsiek interrupting.

"I would like to thank you for your service."

Piersh Izreek continued the conversation when he told Ishl his courtesy as usual.

"Otherwise the people with them, Lord Rifia Behm, Lord Marya Aeren, Lord Nina Sluth, and the exotic"

Piersch pointed that sharp gaze at Mira.

He is in his late sixties or so, he grows a white beard with a bald head and has a pretty sharp eye.

"Permission is given to Lord Mila Dierard to view the history of the kingdom, which has been compiled"

"Thank you"

Mira is a prestigious nobleman of the Holy King's kingdom, but she fell back and thanked Piersh with a strange face.

Lifia and the others lowered their heads together.

Although the position of Secretary and Chief of the Executive Codification Office should not be so high as a position (or so), the content of the duties may be respected by a number of priests. Alongside some clerics and eminent scholars, can it be said that in the continent it is at the apex of the intellectual class?

"Lord Ishur. I'll stretch out my interview with your lords tomorrow because this has happened. Are you sure?"

"Okay."

... Henrik and the knowledgeable, no, king's subordinate, the masterpiece of castle art, were killed in the Royal Library. This is certainly a serious incident. This old man will be busy too.

Ishur accepted the postponement of the interview with Piersh.

"Secretary, you are invited to join us in the debate with His Majesty."

Rusla said to Piersch as he looked tough again.

If you mean to take good aftermath measures with Henrik in this case, then surely Piersch's presence is indispensable.

Even if Rusla puts aside his personal emotions and facial features, he really needs to get hold of Claus Ruhardt's manuscript, its contents. You can't give up to make the Balstal Castle Fortress group tougher.

So from Piersch, we have to get useful information about the Jeremiah's Library.

"Don't you call Sonier Papeek, the secretary here? What about her interrogation?

"There's no point in doing that. Besides, Sonier is not an easy man to worship."

When Ishur asked no one a question, Piersch answered with a flashy face.

……

Ishur grinned lightly at Piersh's story.

... What about me if she's not who she is? Although there is.... Besides, that means Sonier Papeek doesn't have a great deal of authority himself.

Yet what was that girl's challenging attitude?

Does that mean she's simply coming to power King Jeremiah? Can that be done?

Ishur is talking to the Knights Deputy Commander, staring at Marya's little hindsight.

"I'm pretty sure that was the work of those evil spirits. But a powerful wizard will be able to deal with it adequately."

Domill slightly glanced at Capino Gillette's body from the side and spoke to Ischl.

In its cold eyes there is a light of darkness that is not directed at anyone. That's Domil's usual gaze. It doesn't make any difference if it's a human corpse up ahead.

"Just suppose that's by the summons team noted in the book... When you become one who can do things without scratching that precious book and of course without causing damage in the library, the number becomes limited."

Domill's eyes narrow staring at Ishur.

"I guess so."

... I mean, are you saying that you or I are the only one with the magic of the wild gods and the dark system?

Surely it's easy to disable the Summoners. If you put the magic of the wind, gold, and especially the wind on the magic formation, and hold it down with strength, that's fine. If we don't release the magic around us, there won't be any direct damage.

It's just that if we don't know where that summons team is or where it's written in the book, we might turn to the back.

"... have you finally arrived"

Domill turned his gaze behind Ishl.

Looking back, I saw an orthodox knight from the Royal Knights rushing over here with several guards.

The castle guards are untying the chains and lowering Capino's body.

……

Ishur directed the detection of the wind's magic behind its doors, inside the building of the Jeremiah's Library, exploring intervals and the placement of bookshelves.

In the library there is a small hall behind the door, between refrains, and a large room with a bookshelf lined collection and browsing room, with several small rooms following behind it.

"Ishur, have you noticed?

Marya calls from the side.

"Hmm?"

Mary pointed to the iron ring, which protruded from the wall below the door with a cane, to its left and right sides.

The position is slightly below the third step of the three stairs in front of the door, in an inconspicuous position.

……

Ischl moved his gaze upwards, transferring Capino Gillette to the iron ring at the top where the chain he was hanging was tied.

That was the same thing as the iron wheel down there.

"Well..."

"Hey..."

"Eh."

Mira, Rifia, and Nina all raise their voices of surprise.

Now there are only Rusla and Domil, Evan and the other “beards” and the Knights around. The old man, the secretary-general and codification director, Piersh Izreek and the undersecretary of the secretary of the interior, and the deputy head of the Knights, have gone home.

……

When Capino's body was removed from the front of the door, Ishur climbed the stairs in such a way that it would be replaced.

In the third stage, three square stones were inserted in the center and to the left and right.

... This is a wooden column or something, something like a pile, that can be plugged in...

When you remove the square stone stuck in the staircase, you can attach a corner column just one side, less than ten fingers long (Sadie, less than about 20 cm).

"This is..."

Ishur looked back at the Maryas from the top of the stairs.

Rusla and Domill have identified the body of Capino Gillette, who was taken down to the corridor.

I thought the iron rings I was chaining were used to hang lanterns or hang some kind of plate......

"... hehe"

Marya, Rifia and Mira, and Nina staring back at me with a flashing face.

Ishur made them smile.

"This is the execution bench."

... crap.

In the iron clasp protruding from the wall up, down, left and right, a hole to put the pile up.

In front of the Jeremiah's Library, it's an execution bench.

To show off?

Royal secretaries don't reveal that easily, do they?

"... oh my god"

Mira said, concealing her licence with both hands.

"That's what this is all about."

Marya shrugs her shoulders.

……

Nina silently pulled her face, and Refia put her arms together in front of her chest for a difficult face.

Behind them, Capino's body, which was placed on a wooden plank like a doorboard, passed by.

By night when the darkness was deeper, Ishur was alone the other day when he headed to the mansion with Henrik for lunch.

The small palace where he once lived with his late wife and daughter is in the section just south of the building of the South Palace where the Ishurs live.

A short walk between the trees that sank in black leaves right in front of the gate of his mansion. In front of that gate, followed by who of the guards received what in front of the front door, and when he went inside, the deacon Sevantes was waiting.

"Ishur, come here."

Guided by the sinister voice of Sevantes, he is led to what appears to be the dining room in the mansion.

Due to the lateness of the night, there is little movement of one inside the mansion, and everything is dim.

The same was true of Ishur's guided room, and the lights were suppressed.

Only around the dining table in the center of the room was lit on the candlestick, rising out of the darkness of the background and visible.

"Thank you for waiting"

Ishur glanced over at the faces lined up on the tabletop, confirming that he seemed to be the last, and immediately broke his hips and thanked him.

"No. It's okay."

Henrik's voice was heard from behind the heavy table.

"Sit wherever you're available, whatever seat you want"

Around the koshi tea table were Henrik in the back upper seat, Domill and Rusla to the right, Petra and Marya to the left, and Piersh Izreek, secretary general and director of the codification room.

Ishur sat back across from nature and Piersch in the seat next to Rusla. Sevantes pulled me a chair when I sat down.

Petra is rare and has waved to Ishl hard with a serious face. Marya nodded and showed at her usual rate, and Rusla whispered, "This evening".

……

Moving his gaze from Piersh Izreek across the street to Henrik, Ishur was caught in a certain emotion, which he missed.

That was the memory of talking to my father Else and his great-uncle Faro, Ektor and others, at the Bersch family that day when Lene, the forest witch, was about to kill me, and the night I got the results-wind magic fixture, that feeling then.

Now the candlelight and darkness in this room were the same as that night, Henrik reminiscent of Ektor, Piersch reminiscent of Faro.

"Ishur, may I?"

Petra's voice, echoing in her ears, drew back Ishur as she sank into her past memories.

"Shall we get started?"

When Ishur looked up, Henrik said with a slight grin.

"The death of Capino Gillette is my responsibility. Forgive me, Your Majesty."

It was Rusla's nervous, no, angry voice that cut the fire.

The body of Capino was then transferred to the main temple of the king's capital, as the model suggests, and the surviving family was notified. Henrik to the survivors, a large amount of condolences was paid.

"No, my caution was not enough. I lost my spare talent."

Henrik turned to the codification manager when he said so.

"I didn't know there was a king seal to Claus Ruhardt's will. This is my fault."

Piersch Izreek bowed his head to Henrik, saying in a somewhat squeamish voice.

"What is Wang Feng?

Ishur said with a strong gaze at Piersh.

... the place is solemn or heavy, but I can't shy away from it because I'm an outsider myself, because I'm low status, etc.

"The Historical King who founded the Library is to seal certain books."

"I mean, putting up a summons team or some other magic formation on a book you want to keep secret, is that it?

"This time, yes."

"What other king seals are there?

Piersch's eyes narrow to Ishur's continuing question.

……

But Ishur did not pull off at all, and glanced back at Piersh.

"Commander, answer all Ishur's questions."

The low voice of Petra echoed, something I had never heard before.

"... there's nothing else to say. Some books are rolled and sealed with paper signed by the king, and others are common. There are more of them there than those that use magic."

Piersch turned to Petra and said in a calm tone.

"Are you saying that only the royal ones can break that seal?

"Yes."

Once again, Piersch turns his sharp gaze to Ishl.

I suppose you don't like the way Ishur said "royalty" and so forth, with us in front of him, no matter how lame.

"Fine. We'll know who Ishur is and who he was. … In the first place, Ishr is a friend of the concubine."

Petra says it from the side again. Petra lifts her jaw, stretches her chest without, and poses familiarly.

……

Piersch looked stunned and Henrik grinned bitterly.

"What if I broke the king's seal on Claus Ruhardt's will?

Ishur turned his gaze to Henrik and asked.

"I give you permission to view. It doesn't matter. Just like Capino Gillette."

"Really?"

I see. That's what it means to get permission to view the Royal Library.

Books with Wang Feng can also be viewed. But if you unseal that seal, if you ignore it and browse it, there's no guarantee of life.

"The secretary of the Royal Library, the Prohibition Book has seals by authors and donors, in addition to the historical kings collected"

Piersch turned that sharp gaze again and said to Ishur.

"That Claus Ruhardt's will had the seal of King Jeremiah."

"I see.... so what about the clerk with the library? Don't you do anything then?

That challenging look on Sonier Papeek's face comes to my attention. Is it just her job to manage libraries and guide viewers?

"All the scribes are administrators and guardians of the library to which they relate. In other words, it is also important to protect, record and carry over to the next generation the will of the original owner, author, of the secretary to be collected."

Ishur nodded small.

Does that lead to that attitude of hers?

Sonier did his duty in good standing, and did King Jeremiah's will, so.

Hey, I'll steal Marya's face.

Same as always, faceless and unchanged.

... but that's all, that anger of Marya can't be explained.

That anger would not be caused solely by the death of Capino Gillette.

I'll have to ask Marya later about her relationship with Sonier Papeek.

"… just one more thing, are you sure"

Ishur pulled his jaw as he glanced at the back of Piersh's eyes and leaned down on his face.

... just like that night when Lene attacked me and got the magic equipment of the wind. I didn't know anything.

I bumped into Farro and Ektor again and again then.

"In front of the door of the Jeremiah's Library there was a trick like an execution table"

Ishur slightly distorted the corner of his mouth there.

We talked about the iron rings that protruded from the top, bottom, left and right of the door, the holes worn in the stones in front of the door, those things.

……

Petra and Rusla, who did not know about it, beheld Ishur in awe, and those who knew about it, Henrik, for example, looked like the evil face of punishment.

No change was seen in Piersh Izreek, the one who knew the most in that seat.

"... is that applied to other libraries?

"Yes."

Piersch answered Ishl's question with a short, completely emotionless voice.

Royal, Royal Palace, Royal Library. Each has its own naturally indiscriminate or supposedly implicit understandings.

In this covert seat, Ishur asked the Chief of the Codification Office, who concurrently serves as the Secretary, an unclean question about the commandments of the Royal Library, which have been secretly subjected only to the interior of the Royal Family, that no one will ever know.

Ishur dared to execute it without intent, whether it was an act of not reading the air of the field or disrespect.

Ishur is neither an aristocrat nor an official of the royal palace, he is an outsider. Whatever the people around me thought, it was more important to know a little more facts and to reveal doubts.

The venue moved on to the next agenda when Ishur's questioning attacks settled.

"I just sent out an early horse to Uncle Kubade in Nostal. I call Bunois Kubade to the king's capital."

Rusla said to Henrik in a hard tone.

Bunois Kubeid was a person who hit the nephew of Count Kubeid, the castle owner of Nostal at the southern end of the Kingdom of Radis, and who was still familiar with the castle.

On behalf of Capino Gillette, who died unemployed, a person named Bunois Kubade was to guide the redevelopment of the North Line Castle Fortress.

Ishur turned his gaze toward Henrik and Rusla.

Nostal is a stronghold of defense against the Holy King, the same castle city as Antilla. It is convincing that there is a famous castle builder in the involvement of the Count Kubade family.

"Uhm."

"The arrival of Lord Bunois will take about ten days."

Rusla sneaked her voice slightly to Henrik, who nodded heavily.

"So it's only after that that that I'm going to re-try the book of Claus Ruhardt."

And, Petra.

"Retry, or..."

When Ishur told him to whine, Rusla spoke to Ishur.

"Lord Ishur, the library books are not allowed to be taken out or written in principle. So whenever possible, it needs to be viewed directly by someone familiar with castle construction. So I asked Lord Ishur to escort Lord Bunois."

"No, the concubine will do that"

Petra blocks Rusla.

"For the viewing of Bunois Kubade, let your concubine wear a" royal necklace ”and be present"

"Petra......"

Henrik groans.

"If you want to go to the Jeremiah's Library, I'll go instead."

Henrik said without any hesitation.

"Sire!"

Rusla and Pearsch's voice grows.

"... What is a royal necklace?

The place was engulfed with tension, but Ishur asks questions to no one.

"Also known as" Devil's Seal Jewelry. "Only those with royal blood muscles can use it."

And Mary answered Ishul, and went on to say,

... magic seal necklace, huh?

"How powerful is that necklace?

"The magic there can be helpless. Even powerful magic can weaken it considerably."

Petra replied with a grin.

Her shadow, which surfaced in the candlelight, rocks at the same time.

"But the kind of magic Ishur uses, he's probably pretty much in the other side."

"Simply weakening the opponent's magic will help. If, at that time, an ally has a sword spear user defended by full body armor, this wins even if the opponent is a powerful wizard"

Henrik's face blinds between the silver candlestick and the candle.

If magic is significantly attenuated even by a powerful wizard, that attacking magic may also be prevented by a mere knight. If even once prevented, there is little chance that the wizard will win. The knight side will take the lead on the second shot. Of course, there are actually different situations and I can't say them all, but the point is that even if you can't completely prevent the magic of a wizard, just weakening the power will do you good.

"Almost all of the magic used to seal the royal secretary is said to be preventable by the royal necklace. Don't worry about your father."

"Some of them, the numbers are at least dangerous magic books, they say.... Father, you've said over and over again that you can't go anywhere dangerous since you were a child."

Henrik teaching Petra. But there is no more the majesty of the king in his face.

... Wasn't Balstal a dangerous place? As a matter of putting it down, Henrik won't be able to do this anymore. Useless.

There is unspeakable air flowing through the field.

"Ishur, too, with Petra? I'm coming with you. Please get rid of that evil spirit."

As Ishur secretly dropped his shoulder and sighed, Marya told him to cut off the air.

... Marya did well, reversing the relaxed air.

Ishur squeezed his face up tight.

"Hehe. That's good. That lady scribe will be there when you browse, too, right?

"... yeah"

Mary nodded slightly.

Ishur smiled invincibly but did not miss Marya's subtle changes.

... Marya.

"Lord Ishur. Claus Ruhardt's will probably describes the Dark Spirit's recall formations"

Domill has told me to peek into Ishl from the side.

"It is better to seal that recall magic formation itself before the evil spirit is recalled. Then there won't be any damage around."

……

Ishur nodded silently.

Surely that would be better. Domil says to stop the evil spirit from recalling itself.

It's easy if you want to seal the recall party depicted in the book.

With the help of Nerleranke, it would be even easier.

Ishur smiled slightly.

"I will accompany you too, Princess. Your Majesty, are you sure about that?

Rusla asks Henrik for leave to judge.

"You have no choice.... you, Ishr."

Henrik said to Ishl in a pitiful voice, not to mention disappointed.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ishur made an unpleasant smile and made Henrik nod.

Well, it's too much to say, but it's not a bad thing it's my daughter's thoughts.

This is not how we do it. It's not about stepping in. Henrik's heart is always shadowed by his pledge to his late wife.

"... by the way, Lord Ishur"

This was followed by Piersh speaking to Ishl.

Calmer, more serene tone than just now.

"Your Lordship will want to know more about the Royal Library, the Jeremiah's Library. Tomorrow, when I'm done guiding the codification room, I'll explain and move on."

"That's... thank you"

Ishur turned his gaze to explore Piersch's expression, but thanked him in a polite tone.

I was prepared that I would not have made a very good impression because I made it a question attack at the beginning......

I don't want to turn this old man around on the enemy. I thought the relationship should be improved as soon as possible, but if it feels like this, it might be okay.

But the Piersh dialogue that followed was a betrayal of Ishur's thoughts.

"That was too strong. It's not just precious books, it's troubling when damage is done to even the clerk and buildings..."

Mira, Rifia and Nina waited face to face as Ishur returned to the room where he would stay.

"Wang Feng..."

Lifia whined in a low voice when she heard Ishur's report.

"Did Rifia know?"

"No.... the Royal Library sounds a lot more troublesome than I expected"

Lifia replied to the sigh mix.

"What happened to the Jeremiah's Librarian? Did the hearing not take place after all? Will you not be guilty of anything?"

And the one who has asked the most questions is Mira.

"Yeah. The secretary general naturally thinks he's getting a report from Sonier Papeek..."

By the time Mira and the others arrived in front of the library door, Sonier Papeek had already pulled into the back. So they still don't know what Sonier looks like.

"I can't help but say that there was a seal from King Jeremiah in the suicide note of Claus Ruhardt in question. The clerk is a witness, so to speak. I'm not considered involved in Lord Gillette's murder."

and Refia.

"Sonier Papeek is guiding Capino Gillette, so he's actually involved, but the problem is that he won't be seen."

Ishur looked around and said with him.

"On the other hand, it was the current king, Henrik, who gave Capino Gillette permission to view the library and instructed him to examine Claus Ruhardt's manuscript, no. I mean..."

"What do you want to say"

When Ishur opened his eyes, Rifia turned a sharp gaze and opened her mouth.

"There's a contradiction in the way the Royal Library is, in the system,"

"It's..."

It makes Refia look a little worse punished.

"I know that the royal family monopolizes the wisdom, knowledge of its accumulated forefathers.... there will be no choice in maintaining the kingdom. But for that matter, if you can't get the information you need when you need it, it means nothing."

Secretarial control is too strict.

In fact, it was executed by Rusla, but naturally it will be Henrik, the current king, who sent Capino Gillette to the Jeremiah's Library.

Its king's proxy is dead, and it cannot be done unless the royal ones view it directly or, in this case, the magical powerful.

If the dead man, Capino Gillette, is the famous and worthy man of the castle, the loss of the royal family is immeasurable. Previous issues with browsing. I wonder if the warm Rusla will be furious.

In an attempt to build a more powerful fortified line, I tried to borrow the wisdom of my ancestors, whose core talent has been lost, then it is untold.

The secretary doesn't know that the royal man, Rusla, who will be his brains, is in danger of doing so. The clerk in charge doesn't teach. Or maybe Sonier himself didn't know the details, but this is a strange story, too.

"... well, I'm not a royal person, I'm not serving, I don't care"

He looked around again at the one who had shut up and said with an ironic grin.

……

Nina looks stunned and Refia looks difficult.

Mira smiled when only Ishur and I met each other.

Mira is an exotic nobleman and is originally an outsider, the same as Ishur, a peasant from the countryside, not to mention a resident of the kingdom.

"In the long run, the royal family should disclose every bit of information they keep secret."

"Is that so?"

and Nina shrugs.

"In this case, information will mean the wisdom, helpful records, of the ancestors hidden in the Royal Library"

"... I guess so"

From the side the interaction between Nina and Ishur is disputed by Rifia. She glances up at Ishur.

...... Refia. That face, isn't it cute?

"If we can confine ourselves within the kingdom, it will eventually lead to the promotion of national power, won't it? Maintaining the kingdom is of course important, but it is also important to give and spread useful knowledge to the people in order to enhance the national power of the entire Kingdom of Radice"

"Mmmm...... Sure it is."

Lifia now pointed at her lips.

……

Ishur grinned lightly and opened the room.

... Well, I can't help talking about disclosure of information, the importance of sharing, whether it's a development of society or a theory of civilization here.

"Anyway, there are complicated and subtle customs, constraints that are not explicitly cultured in the Royal Library, neither the Royal One knows. You have to know how it feels to be airy."

"Uhm."

"Right."

"Ho."

Rifia and Nina snorted firmly at Ishur's words and smiled that Mira had gotten my will.

"Tomorrow, we'll all go see Piersh Izreek, head of the codification room"

Ishur tightened the spot with a smile.

The next morning, breakfast at Romir's service in his living room showed signs of many between refrains.

"You're early."

"Yeah......"

There was a little interaction when Romir moved between refraining, and Marya, and Rifia, and Mira, and Nina, and the girls came into the living room with Ishur, all of them. At the end of the day, Sharka continued. I didn't see Mira's maid, Lucia, today.

"Morning, Ishur"

"Good morning, Ishr."

"Breakfast now? Probably."

"Good morning. Mr. Ishl."

……

Only Sharka has greeted me with her usual silence, her gaze alone.

"Morning."

When Ishur had one last cup of tea, he stood up with a large roll of paper standing aside.

The Ishurs gathered and headed to the National History Codification Office.

The codification room was in the largest building at the core of the West Palace, with the northern side of the building where Ishur, Mira and Rifia lived, as well as clerks, including the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and other servants.

A corner of the palace with no guards, no sign of too many people. Opening the heavy kannon door, a large room covered by white paint walls appeared. There is a simple wooden desk and chair lined up in front and a large bookshelf lined up in the back. The back walls lined with bookshelves are dim without windows. There were only two men sitting at the desk in front of them and doing their errands.

And when Ishur and his men entered the room, one of them took a seat, and came near to Ishur.

"Piersch, how can I help you?"

"Oh. I have an appointment with the codification director. Ishr Bersch..."

"Yes, I did. Please wait."

The man bowed his head before Ishur had finished saying, and when he returned the blemishes, he carried his sleaze and his feet, and disappeared behind the door on the left side of the room.

"disrespectful"

Refia whispers dissatisfaction.

You know who Ishur is, etc., and when he says it bumps.

"Mr. Riffia, there's no choice. This kind of department is the same everywhere. It's like this."

and Mira.

... Well, you don't even know what Mira is saying. Even after being in public from an apprenticeship, it's pretty much the same thing to do every day. I don't interact much with other departments, I'm generally idle.

Ishur glanced at the other one who remained, a man who was writing something to his desk.

But one is few. The impact of the war...

"Go to the back. The head of the codification office will see you."

The man who disappeared to the door next to his left came right back and told the Ishurs so.

When the man showed me into the next room, it was a lot smaller, Piersh Izreek's office.

The office room, about a third the size of the adjacent room, was covered with calm burnt brown wooden planks, with several chairs in front, a desk sitting in the centre of Piersch himself, countless rolls of paper in the back, and stacked shelves.

"Good morning, gentlemen. Let me show you the browsing room."

On Ishur's side are the court magicians Marya, Nina, and the great nobleman Rifia.

Piersch raised his right hand when he stood up and pointed further back to the left door.

Piersch himself stood on the guide in the browsing room in the back left of the codification room manager's office.

The browsing room, like the office room, was probably a room for nobles, clerics and wealthy traders, where calm, fine wood was used. On the hallway side, desks and chairs arranged in front are also arranged in good quality. There was still a line of bookshelves in the back.

When Piersch led me into the room with Ishur and the others, there was one sign behind the room.

Immediately from the shadow of the bookshelf, two maids with vacuum cleaners, such as scissors, came out in front of the Ishurs. When they greeted Piersch, they opened the heavy kannon door in the hallway and left. The door snapped, sounding obsolete.

"We're all busy after the war now. No one comes here. Nobody's coming for a while. Then you can use it as you like."

... Piersch's voice is soft unlike last night.

It might still have been nice to have brought them here.

There are enough desks and chairs lined up in front of the room for about twenty people to view at the same time.

"She's Mila Dierard's covenant spirit, but may I be present?

Ishur glanced at Sharka and then looked at Piersh and said:

"Never mind."

Piersch nodded one thing and told Ishur.

"Come to my room later."

……

When Ishur nodded silently, the codification manager looked around at all the indoors and said:

"The history of the kingdom up to about five years ago, the end of the codification, is accommodated here. Depending on the year, usually about one book in a year, and in the year when something mattered, that can be as many as three or five books. For example, if I put together last year's share, I'm very sorry about five books."

The old man grinned lightly.

"It's new in front of me. It's old in the back. It's more or less chronological. There may be separate notes depending on the year. Can it be clearly read from about 300 years ago? Some things older than that would be hard to read. The styles are old and difficult to read. I'll talk to you when you're in trouble."

"Guys, look at this first"

When the director of the codification room left for the separate room, Ishur let him spread the roll that was hanging in one hand.

"This is..."

"Hmm?"

"I see..."

……

Rifias raise their voices by peeking at Ishur's spread roll. Only Marya stares silently.

"You mean you should focus on this word and read it?

Marya looked up at Ishur's face and asked.

The paper is lined with words such as "Malefiore," "Magic Fixture of the Earth," "Underground Temple" and "Brektas," "Baron Lehne," "Red Jade Stone" and "King Jeremiah", painted larger by Ishur.

"That's right. If I had read Kingdom History from scratch, I wouldn't know how long it would take. First, I want you to fly in and read it and find out where these words come from."

"... that's efficient"

"No way, there's no index at the end of the volume."

Ishur squeaked his eyes at the bookshelf.

I don't know in this world, but the index has been generalized in previous life since recent times.

"Saku?

"We have chosen words, unique nouns, etc. that appear more frequently in the book to organize and list which sections are listed, separate from the body. on the end of the volume or in a separate book."

"I've never seen a book like that."

And, Refia.

"There are a lot of academic books."

"Is that a lottery? … a book written by a scholar."

And this is Marya.

"Those who possess the tools of my God"

There, Sharka brought a thick book from the one in front of the bookshelf.

There is a brown leather affixed cover on the wooden plate and an engraving of "Ansmugal 12-1" and gold lettering on the table.

You mean look at the real thing and find out.... but the book is heavy.

Ansmugal is the name of a king several generations ago. "12-1" is the first book in the twelfth year of his reign.

Incidentally, in the Kingdom of Ladis, “King's History” is used as the new year for the founding of the country. Since it began in ancient Urk, when it was a luxury family in the west of the kingdom, it should be 934 years or so this year.

Naturally, it is not very popular because it is far from ordinary people and there are generations that do not need to be used.

Other annual issues common to the continent in general are the "History of the Diocese" and “History of the Church” as defined by the Diocese Church. I also only use this about royalty, nobility and big merchants who negotiate with other countries, except clerics and scholars.

It is widely used by ordinary people in the form of "Year of the (reign) of the King". If "Ohm King" is a name no one has ever heard of, it's probably done with "it was a long time ago".

Ishur opened the book that was given to Sharka and turned the page to a large mess. Kingdom history is made of high-quality parchment with high value.

The format is unified, with "○ King's (reign) “ Year ” and" King's History ” “ Year ” attached to the head, followed by "○ Day in Spring January (April) ” and other dates.

The body has three levels of letter size, and the upper part of the section contains a large letter describing the events of the whole kingdom and the royal family, the middle part describing the cathedral churches, nobles and great merchants, and the lower part describing minor matters concerning the personnel and the inhabitants of the officials of the royal palace.

"Hmm."

Ishur follows the text with his eyes with a small groan.

... Again, many of the descriptions were made by who was born, who married who, who played the part of ○ ○, and where did they go? Who died, etc.

Rarely have demons appeared in the territory of the Baron, but the King saw them as messengers of the Duchy of O, and in the region of O, descriptions such as the prospect of abundance are found.

As I was expecting, I can't go through a sentence like this Bureau report for hundreds of years in extension.

If we were to head to the underground temple of Brektas, there would be occasions on the road where we would go beyond a considerable mountain of altitude. It's impossible to cross the mountain unless it's after spring when the snow melts.

Then we still have time. I don't need to rush...

Ishur turned behind the history books. Again, it doesn't come with anything similar to an index.

"That's more boring than I expected."

Rifia says from the side.

"Yeah."

"Oh. But a royal history book or something like this would be. It rarely happens that Ishur destroyed Baron Brigal alone or fought the Red Emperor Dragon."

"Well, you are. … If you read it, you might come out with a refia born at the Borderline House or Nina becoming a court magician apprentice."

"I don't think my name is on it yet, because the head of the codification office said it was only about five years old."

and Nina.

"There will be many names of Ishr in the history of the country to be codified."

"Gu."

In Marya's teasing mouth, Ishur clogged her words.

... I don't know how it will be written, but I kinda hate that...

"Ho ho. Then my name will be on this battle."

Mira laughs when she says, "I'm an exotic."

"Anyway, pay attention to my written words and let's all share and read them"

Ishur kept looking around at the rifias.

"I'm going to read the national history from the new age. In some cases, only the then royal family and officials may know and may also write about matters such as those described in the national history without being on the table. Look it up carefully, even if it's new for the year. Well, hello."

Ishur bowed his head to everyone.

"From the reign of King Marius, then."

The reign of Marius III, which was fought and died in the battle against the United Kingdom, was long. The history of the country since he became his substitute would also be compiled in several books.

Lifia headed for the bookshelf first.

Romir appeared in the Historical Book Browsing Room for about half an hour after the Ishurs began to examine the history of the Kingdom of Radice in their hands.

"Mr. Ishur, I brought it."

Romir brought multiple markings knitted in iron and strings, as well as wall-mounted fittings.

"Thank you, Romir"

Romir was asked by Ishur to go around the office of the West Palace office and borrow the signs.

As Ishur twisted Romir, he gave the signs to Mira and fastened the roll of paper spelled out the keywords with wall-mounted hardware on the wall. There was a clasp on the white painted wall that had previously been hung with a painting or some sort of caveat, and Ishur used it to put the roll up against the wall so that it could be seen without bothering to take a seat.

Ishur then visited Piersh Izreek's office for lunch in the scissors afternoon to meet with him.

When Piersch recommended Ishl the front of his desk, the wall bench, he quickly began talking about the Royal Library.

"…" The Royal Library ”is a generic term for the library of eleven historical kings, combined with the original Royal Library. The Royal Library itself has the same number of apprenticeships as three directors, including the chief secretary, but each library comes with one secretary and one apprentice."

……

The Codification Office and Secretary will continue to explain lightly.

Ishur nods silently at Piersh and turns his gaze to encourage him beyond.

"Each library that individually houses books collected or written down by the Historic King is managed on the basis of the will left by that King.“ Wang Feng “is one of them. Inside there are also books sealed by certain authors, owners, with the permission of the king of the time. Essentially, external viewing is not allowed. Only the King can allow that. Only the royal families will be able to view the will of the Historic King, without the shackles (of legacy) without the king's permission"

Ishur doesn't take his gaze off.

"The scribe belonging to each library becomes a witness and a seer when some magic by Wang Feng is activated. They inherit from generation to generation the will of the king of the library to which they belong, but not everything has been accurately inherited. Some have been lost for a long time. Some of this case also falls under it."

"Partly, what?

Ishur just asked the question. That gaze also becomes harsh.

"That there was a king's seal on Claus Ruhardt's will."

"Sonier Papeek didn't know that."

Ishur said, distorting the edge of his lips.

I didn't try to hide that grin from Pearsh.

"That's right. Wang Feng, that is, this time he will be the Evil Spirit Summoner engraved in the will, but the treatment after it is activated is something that has been decided for a long time. Depending on King Jeremiah's will and how he behaved like that, I have no problem with the deeds of the scribe."

"I see."

... Sonier Papeek only followed Jeremiah's will, that is, policies and customs. There's nothing illegal about it.

Then what's that girl's provocation?

Was that all that winning attitude, simply because I was able to protect the library secretary, or because I needed to boast of King Jeremiah's prestige?

Didn't Sonier Papeek show more personal, malicious feelings towards me and Marya then?

The disturbing colors also begin to mix in Ishur's eyes staring at Piersh.

"I've heard rumors of it."

Piersch continued in a quiet tone, moving both to the change of Ishur and to his gaze.

"Then you would have known. Capino Gillette's death was a pain in the ass, but this is something we have no choice about. It's not just the Royal Library. The Royal Palace still has old laws and customs that are contradictory and conceived. Your Majesty, not only do I, not even those of the royal palace, know everything."

The old man held his breath there.

"However, it is also true that those things will stone the Ladis royal family"

Ishur listened to Piersh and smiled lightly.

... I know what you're talking about.

"You naturally know how harmful habits and customs that are not shared vertically can be in the royal family."

I can't help but say this to the old man in front of me. But I feel like I can't help but tell you.

I see the body of Capino Gillette right next to me, in person.

"... um. Not shared vertically, huh? The Lord uses words that are unfamiliar to his ears."

For a moment, Piersch revealed his upset. But he immediately recovered and smiled with the same ironically distorted grin as Ishur.

"Still, bye. But the survival of the royal family is more important."

……

Ishur nodded silently as he almost erased the grin that floated on his face (his toes).

This world is modern, not. It has not generally reached recent times either.

... then this is just a word game.

"By the way, I'd like to visit the Jeremiah's Library in a separate matter tomorrow."

Ishur went on to ask Piersch, "Can I visit the library all of a sudden?"

It is approximately ten days after the arrival of Bunois Kubade in the King's capital. Let's get our own errands done before then. Let's find out about Malefiore first.

However, to see from what Sonier Papeek said and did yesterday, naturally, as in Capino, I would just not be sorry......

"The Jeremiah's Library is closed for three days from today. By the way, I can't even browse Claus Lehardt's manuscript and dots for about five days."

"What's that? What do you mean?

"Some of the desks and chairs in the library were damaged.... and the floor was dirty too. Claus Ruhardt's work broke the plank on the cover when he fell on the floor. I'm fixing it."

"I see..."

Quite a vid story. Wasn't it Capino Gillette's blood that the floor was dirty?

And the repair of Claus Ruhardt's book may be redrawing the summoning formation of the Dark Spirit.

There are types of magic formations that can only be used once, that disappear. In that case, the power of the Spirit above the medium is required. I need you to infuse that magic formation with magic again, or the wizard will draw the magic formation again, and the Spirit will still infuse me with magic.

I don't think that Sonier Papeek has such a contract with the Spirit of Darkness, which means he has the magic of a rather powerful dark lineage.

If she has such power, isn't she becoming a court magician, not a clerk?

In this case, it will be said that the court magician is helping to maintain the management of the Royal Library, in other words, the management of the Royal Library is one of the tasks of the court magician.

The Dark Spirit, the Evil Spirit Summoner that was in Claus Ruhardt's manuscript, was probably something that would not require a spell if you opened that section, or if your hand touched it, it would activate automatically.

Or was it a summons that could be activated, even if Sonier cast a spell without the magic of darkness?

Some things can be used by the magic team as many times as they want, so if they are, as Piersch said, maybe they're just repairing the fitting on Claus Ruhardt's manuscript.

"So if it's four days from now, you can visit the Jeremiah's Library"

"Mm-hmm. I don't mind visiting you in person then during the day. Without Sonier, an apprentice would handle it."

"Okay. Thank you."

"Let me tell you something, you can't do anything rough. If the entire library blows up, you can't even look at it."

Piersh Izreek had a slightly drawn grin and pressed it just in case.

Returning to the adjacent room, the National History Browsing Office, Rifia, Mira, Nina and Marya had changed places, sat together at one desk, all at a dizzying, thick opening of national history and looking through.

Now it's not a big browsing room, but they sat in pieces, thoughtful seats, until Ishur went to see the codification director.

But naturally, it is decided that we should gather at the same desk to examine it in order to make it easier to communicate our intentions.

Only Sharka was alone, sitting apart in the end seat, looking faceless around Mira, but it doesn't matter directly because she's a spirit.

……

When Ishur smiled, he lowered his back to the empty seat at the same desk as them.

"Shall I keep it around here today?"

Yang is beginning to lean west.

"... So, how was your conversation with the codification manager?

When Ishur spoke, he first heard that it was up to Rifia to meet with Piersch.

"Well, that's the thing. No matter where the royal family is, nobility, there are troublesome customs."

"I mean, I guess the royal family has long thought that the secrets of library books are so important that there's no other way to sacrifice them. I can't help it."

"Are there so many important books in the Royal Library?"

Mira, Rifia and Nina spoke thoughtfully of their thoughts and doubts as Ishur explained his story with the codification manager.

"Are you going to the Jeremiah's Library by yourself Ishur?

Only Marya has asked about the Jeremiah's Library.

"Oh."

Ishur looked at Marya's face with a slightly different light in his eyes.

"Are you all right? Ishl."

Lifia pinches her mouth from the side.

"Don't worry about it. Put Nell on Support"

"Nell?"

"It's the newly summoned Spirit of the Wind. I'll introduce you next time."

Ishur smiled and answered Marya's question in a good way.

On the side, Refia circles her eyes and mutters, "Support......"

……

Ishur smiled and secretly observed Marya's expression.

Whatever the cause, Nerlelanke's appearance resembles Sonier Papeek......

If I saw Nell, how would Marya feel? What would you think?

Ishur kept grinning consciously. I fixed it.
